The Sound A Dream Makes

The volunteer behind the desk said
son you better get some rest
there's plenty of these sleepless nights to come
I'm guessing this must be your first
you say its gonna be a girl
your in trouble son
it's two against one
but that first time that you hear her cry
it'll all become so clear
dreams aren't just for holdin'
they are somthin' you can hear

Chorus
Its the first steps that she takes
the first time you hear her say
Oh I love you daddy
man it takes your breath away
yellow bus on her first day
singin in the christmas play
jumpin in the leaves that you just raked
thats the sound a dream makes

He walked out from behind the desk
straightened up his cotten vest
pulled his wallet out as he sat down
Took a picture out and smiled said
this one here's my first grandchild
She loves to ride around
with grandpa into town
just when you think a quiet house
is where the story ends
your baby has a baby
and the dream begins again

Chorus
It's that knee she's gonna scrape
tears rollin' down her face
and she'll say grandpa
can you make it be okay
When her laughter gives away
her favorite hiding place
and the first prayer you'll ever hear her pray
Oh thats the sound a dream makes

Oh when her laughter gives away
her favorite hiding place
The first time you'll ever hear her pray
that's the sound a dream makes
